Rollie finishing up line "U" above final snow-filled couloir. The rocky ledge next to the fallen dead tree below is the top of line "X" (P5 of Route 6).
The "P1 approach gully" photo from late 2019 is pretty misleading if you don't have the added context this shot provides. Rather than being a gully at the *base* of the climb, the gully pictured in the 2019 photo is at the *very top* of the P1 5.easy.
Here are some obvious lines around the top of [[106351352]]. Anyone know anything about them: difficulty, rock quality, pro, etc.?<br> <br> Based on Hill's guide and the [[106351352]] page, 'U' seems to be the typical finish of [[106351352]] but I could be wrong. <br> <br> [[106272107]] posted a related question on the [[106351352]] page.
P6 (line "U" in Bill's photo) - exit pitch for Route 6 and Standard S Route.
P1 gully (after the initial 5th class) just below large clump of trees (shared with Standard S Route & Route 6).

Realizing there are other variations, this is the one we mostly followed.
Standard S Route as seen from the top of the Prow. 2/6/09.
The S-Route takes the ramp up and right to the first large clump of trees, then left to the next large clump, then angles up and right in a gully to a final nice pitch leading to the top.
